vanAB gene loci in the genome of Pseudomonassp. NGC7 (A) and the effect of each vanAB disruption on the assimilation of VA (B) and SA (C). (A) The functions of the gene products, identified through similarity searches using BLAST program are detailed in Table 1. (B) and (C) Each vanAB mutant was shake-cultured in 0.2 mL of Wx medium containing 5 mM VA or SA at 30 °C. Each value and error bar indicates the mean and standard deviation from triplicate experiments
